Trash Panda Detective Yesterday was new comic day so of course I toddled down and got myself a few regular issues and number ones to get stuck into. One of the new releases I picked up was Rocket #1. As you probably know (and if not, do you not leave the house?), Rocket is a […]

Prey is pretty good. A little rough on the early game difficulty though. It’s the latest game from Arkane Studios, well-known for the Dishonored series. They also developed Bioshock 2. Comparisons to Dishonored and Bioshock are not unfair at all. A lot of the mechanics will be familiar if you’ve played those titles. But more […]

Addressing The Elephant In The Room Before I begin this review of NBA Playgrounds (Nintendo Switch), developed by Saber Interactive and published by Mad Dog Games in earnest, I feel the need to address the elephant in the room. NBA Playgrounds is not NBA Jam. While the comparison between NBA Playgrounds and it’s arcade classic […]

Another week, another American Gods episode (with a slight delay in the review, so my apologies for that!) Don’t get me wrong, it was a terrific episode… but it felt weird. The story hasn’t advanced at all because this episode focuses only on Laura Moon, catching up to the ending of episode 3. The title […]

Hoo, boy! This’ll be something. If you’ve read any of my other reviews you’ll know that they are all more mechanically focused. It’s not that I don’t care of things outside of mechanics but more so I’d often feel ill-equipped to discuss the finer points of narrative and themes in writing. However , I feel […]

Let me tell you about Black Butler. It has an incredibly gripping story and hilarious cast that will always take a special place in my heart at the show that got me into anime in the first place. If you#re just getting into anime, or love mystery, fantasy and Victorian London – then you should really watch […]

World to the West is the second release by Rain Games. Their first offering, Teslagrad, was one of the big indie hits a few years ago and ended up being included in a fair number of indie bundles. Rather than resting on their laurels though, they have decided to go in a different direction for World to the West. […]

Setting The Scene I count myself quite lucky as a fan of film, that I have seen precious few films that I actually disliked. And even fewer still that I hated. For this edition of Screen Savers, I have decided to talk to you all about one of those rare pieces of cinema that drew […]

Miss Sloane Review – The Thrill Of Politics

“Miss Sloane. Welcome to the party.” I like political thrillers. It’s not a genre I end up actively watching, but I enjoy them. That was a realisation I reached while I was watching Miss Sloane. It also made me miss House of Cards, but since it’s coming back soon, everything’s good. Miss Sloane focuses on Elizabeth Sloane, […]

Mr. Shifty is the first release from Team Shifty, and the newest in a long line of indie releases from tinyBuild Games. It’s Time To Get Shifty You play the titular Mr. Shifty, a thief with the ability to ‘shift’ or ‘blink’ across short distances. The paper-thin plot states simply that he is trying to steal some Megaplutonium […]
